The Open Hymnal Project

This repository is clone of all the data that is found on the Open Hymnal project (http://openhymnal.org/). It also includes the scripts used for building the various song books and HTML indexes.

About the Open Hymnal Project

From the website:

The aim of Open Hymnal Project to create a freely distributable, downloadable database of Christian hymns, spiritual songs, and prelude/postlude music. I am doing my best to create a final product that is "Hymnal-quality", and could feasibly be used as the basis for a printed church hymnal. This music is to be distributed as complete scores (words and music), using all accompaniment parts, in formats that are easily accessible on most computer OS's and which can be freely modified by anyone.

"Freely you received, so freely give." - Matthew 10:8 (WEB)

Setup

Edit bin/ohroot and change this to point at the location of your checkout directory

You should then be able to run do-hymn abc-file to generate all the required outputs
